Within the last couple weeks we adopted two adorable little kittens (now 12wks old) from our local humane society after our dear kitty of 17yrs passed away. They are cute and active and unfortunately have a smell to them. I'm not sure if it was from just being at the shelter or if they try to hang out in their litter box when I dont pay attention, but they're a bit stinky.

However, the one is now just over two weeks out from being spayed and the other a week out from being spayed, so bathing them yet is not an option because of their stitches. Can I use some baby wipes to clean them until they're able to get a real bath (not looking forward to that!) or do I have to get the specific pet wipes for them? The ingredients are pretty similar but I can't imagine they taste good to the kittens but after they're dry maybe it's ok. What is anybody's experience with this?

You can use baby wipes, but they have to be the unscented ones. With kittens that young, I would use pet wipes, to be on the safe side, just make sure and read the label, that they are safe for kittens.

I checked with my vet and they said for now I could use baby wipes until they could be bathed. I just wiped them down and dried their fur with a towel and thankfully they had no desire to try to lick anything off them. I just happened to have them lying around from a camping trip so they were convenient.
